    Its obvious he lives on the edge... so the boots do not surprise me... it works for him.. I couldn't/wouldn't wear that outfit.. but I am about twice his size.. in both directions... LOL.

    I have a pair of boots just like them - though I doubt I'd wear them to the palace to receive an OBE.

    With all the comments on how Mr. Cumming "lives on the edge" and the references to his theatrical career, do any of you suppose that this was more of a calculated "look at me costume" than a natural expression of his Scottish origins?

    I think, it is what it is... Yes, he showed a natural expression of his Scottish Natioal dress, and he showed it with empicible sense of style and grace....is he a bit over the top?... well what does his past actions prove?.... but again.. it is what it is... and by the way.. Congrats to him for his award... He has truely deserved this honor!

    Personally, I was thinking so at first. But the fact that he chose a plain tie over a tartan tie made me think that maybe it wasn't a "look at me" thing. Certainly if he were trying to be over the top, he'd have picked a tartan tie to go along with it?

    I think his outfit would have looked a lot better with the jacket in a plain burgundy color to match his hose...

    I was admiring the rather simple sporran for such a busy suit. Goo choice to help "balance" that much tartan. I may try to find such a sporran anyway. I like the design.

    I'm fairly sure it came from sporrans
